作做写真

人渐渐的老去,才发现收藏在脑袋的回忆也逐渐逝去,怎么找也找不到。这是痴呆的开端,还是精神开始反扑归真,去芜存菁?过去发黄了了的青春热忱,不知散落在哪角落,掬不起,寻不着。生活中一点一滴,像镜湖一样清澈宜然,偶尔飞来蜻蜓点水,不时倒影闲鹤归帆,乐而不淫,哀而不伤。

是该买笔记本了。越是不想写,越是写不出,越是不写出,越是想不写。

想写些关于世界的大事, 像大家报导新闻一样, 煞有介事。偏偏许许多多真实的事,都不为人道,不堪入目, 永远也不能令人信服。

想写感人的话,可以触动你的心房。像世纪大裁缝师那样,在心中描绘彩霞,再把它裁剪成霓裳,让人落泪,不让人褪下。

有没有快乐的事,能让我笔动而忘怀,能让老儿女们阅而雀雀欲动,纸载而飞扬,墨沾而明亮?让我把它们一一写下,为我们每日都伏在背上的家担,妈妈提在腰间两百多日的心肝,添一点欢畅。

有没有梦,数万年已经在奔腾的那种,烈火熔岩,残道暴政也不能淹没的那一种?我要刻写,让夜未瞑周神也匆匆而来,给先人来人后人枕脚绣一抹香,等他们拈着,拿捏成花,牵扯成缘,在千千万万的微灯光下。我们可以凝视着它。

有歌吗?我们吸吸嚼嚼,嚼嚼吸吸,仍旧忘不了的那一 首。我们从书上把它偷偷摸摸的抄下来,一直挂在咀边,直到物转星移,儿女成堂,仍然会在听雨时哼起的那一首。

乘着越来越凉的夜,把它们写下来。

我诗乌衣巷

朱雀桥
野草花
乌衣巷
夕阳斜
历时文家燕
草草冢林间

在电话上写一首诗

在电话上写一首诗
不理会世态炎凉
不管骄阳它气度嚣张

在冷却的咖啡里加一把糖
掩住苦涩
掩不住遐想

此地没有彩虹
没有雨后青鸟的轻唱
甚至没有
悲伤

只有滚滚尘埃
飞扬
落在
耳后
肩头上

(午后闲时不胜寂寥、随笔。)

还愿

人生一开场就已无条件的接受了许多的祝福。

世间可圈可点的善,国家的安定,父母的爱,我们继承了不少美好的事物。

我们没有欠这世界什么,因为那是无条件的。

像父母的爱一样。

一些能偿还的,在怀抱里,在枕边,伸手可及的,在门后的点点滴滴,在餐桌上的零零星星,把它们像灌溉花草般,细心的浇铸下去。

然后我们祈愿,让一切平和由这里开始。

生日快乐!妈妈与胤熙。

How many locals company are helping our Ministers hit their KPI

I watched yesterday channel 8 news, and I read about it on Today this morning.













The thing is this, I cannot get this out of my mind so I am going to blunt it out here.

Quote: "The PSD....Blah blah "a direct link" more blah, and the social-economic progress of average- and lower-income..blah blah.."

What it says is this, since I have helped you guys increase your wages, I deserve the bonus.

That's true.

However, it is interesting to find out that many company did not give out a pay increment overnight. In fact, what many manufacturing firm did is this. For any Singaporean worker that has a salary of $650 or lower, and who prefer no OT, was persuade to clock their overtime till it reaches $850. Hence the pay increment

Looks very nice on the book.

That's not all. They made this a SOP for all new employment. So they can hire more foreigner.

So now this particular group of Singaporean rejoices making more money, and working longer hour, as well as remembering the fact that they help our Minister achieve their KPI.

My silly thought. Lets wait for 2016.

半生瓜

如果每一个人的味觉,就有如小孩子一样,那么苦瓜永远也不会有机会成为我们桌子的菜肴。它只能孤孤单单的吊在枝头上,任年华老去,抱着那本来已经其貌不扬的瓜身,一代一代不停的枯萎,而无人问津。

我第一次见到它,是在五岁时某一个晚餐的餐桌上。我从清澈的汤里把那天青色的花瓣捞起,妈妈就把它介绍给我,说什么清热解暑,对牙齿有益。我想都不想就把它放进口里,咬了几咬。

这是什么味!?

妈妈嘴边含笑,看着我不停的往桌上呸呸呸,然后略有深意对我说:“等你长大就不苦了,现在你还吃不起苦。”

多年以后,也不知道什么时候开始,吃进咀里的苦瓜不再苦,反而带有淡淡的甘香味。有如父亲的情,多年之后,方才体会出其中的用心良苦。

为人父后,常常在餐桌上想起第一次吃苦瓜的味道。那一份中人欲呕的味道。现在变成了亲切,独一无二的家香味。它有如你在冷暖人生中体会的世情,又有如在你生命里匆匆来去的朋友,苦涩却不难咽,伴着一丝丝的领悟。


笔后到网上一游,发现原来已有一首名为“苦瓜”的歌,词里的意境竟然不约而同。可见凡文学之人都心有灵犀。献给热爱友情,肯为朋友牺牲的人。

清蒸新加坡

华人有句话,叫做天不作美。比喻老天,不,少天就像一个顽皮的小孩,总是爱跟你捣蛋。你要太阳,他就乌云满天,你想凉快一下,他偏一直给你泼冷水。

新加坡近来的雨,就好像憋了太久的狗。走到那儿,放一堆,又走到另一头,再放一堆。

简直就是典型的天有不测风云。

几分钟的雨飘飘,像守财饱发户的零钱施舍,落在地上叮叮当当,连乞丐也不屑一顾,不需一刻钟就给太阳带走了。弥漫在空气中的水精灵,等待着,无情的钻入过路人的身子。

像魔法陷阱一样。

我突发奇想,能不能在这样的气候中清蒸一条鱼呢?

发呆时,天黑了。

鱼也走光了。

明·方孝儒《送龚彦佐序》:“夫禄之以天下而系马千驷,常人思以其身易之而不可得,而伊尹不屑一顾视焉。”》

DIY Chinese flashcards with Google Translate


I know there are Chinese flashcards apps for iPhone out there, but nothing gives you the kick out of Do It Yourself with just your fingertip.

First download Google Translate.

Then use it to translate Chinese to Chinese, or whatever.

Now turn your iPhone side-way and snap the screen.

There you go, a Chinese word flashcard in your photo album. I understand teaching Chinese is tough in Singapore, especially after decades of brainwash from English cultured society.

Hope this is useful.

My fruit, Your branches, His root

是我掀起了追逐的浪潮
绿叶依附着树枝
苦涩的泥巴味
却为何无法
从根处传到枝头

是我卷起了人云亦云
遥远东方而来的云集
昏暗又污浊
已经面貌全非

是我为了摆脱剑锋
而每日来到这里
我是逃离战场的剑客
没刺出的那一剑

现在不知刺往何方

Your stem cells are drugs and sugar is as bad as tobacco

And, A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at Science Fair by proving H2O is dangerous chemical.

I tell you, nowadays science can almost prove anything just by hypothesis.

You wait, one day it will prove that devil actually exist in lamb chop..

How HDB CCTV can be useful in Singapore


I don't know the real motivation of installing CCTV near HDB lift area, and I am not so concern, yet. But this is a fine example of how such an expensive infrastructure can be truly useful to resident, and as a effective deterrent.

By far the only place in Singapore I saw this.

Guess there really is a different in value of life at different part of Singapore.

Is that why the HDB here is much more expensive?
